Car Forum / Ford / Ford Focus / May 2004fuel mileage
Hi there I was wondering what mileage most people were getting out of there cars. mine is a 03 ZTW wagon and my mileage is only 26mpg, 9lt/100km city and 35 mpghwy 6.5lt/km is anyone getting better. The dealership says that this is good mileage.

The dealership says < that this is good mileage. < Dave If that's good depends on what engine you have, I would guess on a 1.6. For a two litre that would be very good. I have a 2 litre wagon myself and don't get quite that gas mileage on the highway. More like 7.5 l/100km. Then again the ones with automatic transmission seem to need a lot more gas still. /per I messed up the conversion its 12l/100km city and 8l/100km hwy so you are getting better > < Hi there > < I was wondering what mileage most people were getting out of there cars.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > the ones with automatic transmission seem to need a lot more gas still. > /per Presuming that you a fellow Canuck - high 30's/low 40's mpg is as good as you're gonna get. 26 mpg around town is good as well (is this an average or best value? Summer or winter? Automatic or manual? US or Imperial gallons?) I'm getting a 30.7 total mpg ('03 ZX5) with 75% highway mileage. (I've logged every litre of fuel for the past 6 years). Considering that this includes 2 long winters of driving, I'd say the fuel consumption is still pretty good. My experience with the 2.0 litre ZTEC engine /W 5 speed manual: '03 ZX5 Focus = 30.7 mpg (.36CD) '00 ZTS Focus = 29.4 mpg (more urban driving, .31CD) '98 ZX2 Escort = 30.9 mpg (slightly smaller, more aerodynamic .29CD) Get your money back I get 38mpg on a 2L focus estate (UK) On 2L Ghia I get 36 - 38MPG, I have managed to get it to 42.1MPG on a well known road I used for two weeks on the trot. Hola 2003 zx5 zetec provides 37 MPG highway (imperial) and 32 MPG highway during cold Canadian prairie winter Fud Hi there I was wondering what mileage most people were getting out of there cars. mine is a 03 ZTW wagon and my mileage is only 26mpg, 9lt/100km city and 35 mpghwy 6.5lt/km is anyone getting better.

My car's a US-spec four-door with the 2.0L Zetec engine and automatic transmission. (Same drivetrain as the ZTW, no?) My daily commute is about an even mix of highway and city driving.
